Answer:
p = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex of the function is (0.5, 30.25 )
Since the roots are (6, 0) and (p, 0) then the axis of symmetry is vertical
with equation x = 0.5
The axis of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the roots, thus
= 0.5 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
6 + p = 1 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
p = - 5

Answer:
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Recognize that 25 and 125 are powers of 5 and rewrite the equation in terms of powers of 5.
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
__
Your equation can be written as ...
Now this can be solved as an ordinary linear equation.
8 = 8y . . . . . . add 5y to both sides
1 = y . . . . . . . divide by 8
The solution is y = 1.
